i am turning 32 in less than a month, i can relate to crusty's story, i used to play waterpolo too and now i have to watch what i eat. I know i am not very qualified for this thread, but I started following something called the ABS Diet and shifted my training routine accordingly, its easy to follow at any age i think, so it might be worth checking it out. I thought i'd start taking care of things early, so i dont feel that i am obliged to change my lifestyle later on...

It was the same with my hair, i started cutting it really short (kind of army style), now that i lost a lot of it, i dont feel my looks have changed that much

anyways it could be worth checking out, ive been on it for like 2 months and i did feel a notable diference (although i havent been training at all the last 2 weeks)
cheers
